Hi all, Im a bit late in the day posting this, but here I am now! Sooooo its monday and challenge day again with The Cutie Pies and this time we want to see "Monochromatic" (we will allow for hair, skin and fur of course!) So here is my DT card:

I made this a few weeks ago as a belated birthday card for a lovely DC friend and have been bursting to upload it! The image is Gilly from Prairie Fairy, who are very kindly sponsoring us, as are Ewe 2 can craft, you can read more about this, and also check out our fab teamies work by clicking on the link at the top of this post.

Have been up to the eyeballs this week, as we are finally getting started on house decorating. First room up is the lounge. Spent the first part of the week choking on dust whilst my hubby was sanding down the artex on the chimney breast, and then I got cracking with stripping the wallpaper. First two wall went fine, but have been at it today and have found as much plaster coming down as wallpaper........argh!! got a plasterer coming out to have a look! So glad I can come on here for a bit of normal xx

Well its all go in Cutie Pie land at the moment. Our DT lead, the wonderful and very talented Woo, had decided to stand down, and we now have a new leader in the shape of Lisa (craftybirdLisa), we have a new dt member, who is Becky, but sadly we are also waving farewell to Karen.

So, onto the next challenge and this time its all about CIRCLES (no straight lines!!!!!).

This is my DT card for this challenge:

This wonderfully cute LOTV image came from a candy draw(thank you Edna)

Me again! Actually does it count as the third post of the day if the first one was at 3.30ish this morning (urgh!) Anyway, am hope from work, there is a chicken casserole in the oven and I am making the most of the fact that the kids are out with my step-daughter and hubby is still working, so its just me and nippy!

So I wanted to post another card here today, and this I made for the Bear challenge, over in the land of Docrafts, that I am hosting for the next two weeks. My theme is Beginning with B, and I think I got quite a few "B"'s going on here:

This little sweetie, I believe, is an Elzybells stamp. This is a donated image, which had been completely forgotten about, which is a bit rubbish on my part, 'cos he is adorable! Anyway, i've coloured him with pro's, and found a complementary coloured bow lurking at the bottom of my ribbon box, buttons and brad from stash, the paper is from a Fizzy Moon stack and the "birthday" sentiment is cut from a section of a cuttlebug folder and rounded the corners (thats a bit of a favourite with me!)

Well if you've my earlier post, you'll be glad to know I did get back to sleep for a bit........until the plinky-plonky music and the four-legged alarm clocks had other ideas, lol.

Wanted to add another card that was made over the weekend.

Im going through a bit of a LOTV phase at the mo, but you've only got to have a bit of a trawl around the land of Blog to see im not the only one. Coloured with my beloved pro's, cut and layered onto scalloped circle nestie and then doily, buttons ribbon and pearls from stash, the yummy gingham is once again a Bev Rochester freebie and have printed the sentiment using Tempus Sans font.

Good Morning all, well it is sutpidly early 0'clock in the morning, and thanks the hubby having to get up and get off to work I am wide awake.........ggrrrrr..........so I thought I might just hop on the 'putor and do a few bits in the hope of getting weary enough to drop back off to sleep for a wee while, before I have also got to get up for work.

Havent had an awful lot of time this weekend to craft or blog, but I did get a couple of bits made yesterday, and this is one of them:

This cute wee chap is a donated H&S image coloured with pro's, the stack of books is a freebie image from Bee Crafty which you can find here and the yummy gingham paper is also a freebie and comes from the wonderful Bev Rochester

Well, I think the warm milk is taking hold now, so im gonna try for another 40 winks, catch you all later xx

Today, I am sharing with you all my "recipe for friendship" sentiment, which I used on my Cutie Pie DT card, earlier in the week. Everyone is welcome to save it and have fun with it - if you do use this on a card or whatever, please let me know, I would really love to see it.

Well, its nearly Easter and my kids are gearing themselves up to stuff themselves full of cadbury cream eggs. We are also celebrating Easter at AUD SENTIMENTS this week too. As we are in week B, I can share my DT card with you

This gorgeous image is from A Day for Daisies, who are sponsoring this challenge. I'd be inclined to think that this little dress would've been better used last week, than this........it is sooooo cold today.

Well, here we are its Monday again and challenge day with The Cutie Pie's . Our theme this time is "Favourite Cute Stamp/Digi"..........this was a really tough one to choose, so after a few rounds of eeny, meeny miney mo, this is where I ended up:

I think is my fave Tilda, so I think it worked out well! The sentiment is another of my own creations, and will be available on here in a few days time. The paper was a magazine freebie with faux stitching printed onto in, the buttons and ribbon are from my local haberdashery, and I also used a section of a sizzix tag die to finish things off. So this is my DT card, you can also check out my other teamies fabby work here. We are generously sponsored on this challenge by:

So, have a jolly old rumage through your stamps, pick your fave Cutie and come and join in, we'd love to have your company.

this morning I was just planning a quick blog browse, and then get some jobs done when I was unfortantly (hehehe) districated by todays here come the boys challenge, which is "anything but a card". Well, there I was washing up and racking my brains on this one when I glanced over a bottle of leibraumilch on the side looked at me (dont worry, not in a "get my cork out and get guzzling" kind of way, more like an "oooooh, what can I do to make that look lovely") Anyway, the washing up got abandoned as I couldnt concentrate on doing it properly - best to leave it till later when I can "focus"!!! So this is what I came up with:

The bottle tags will be kept for Father's day - cant say the same for the bottle of Vino Collapso though!!
